Café /Bar on Deal Pier
Project: Café /Bar on Deal Pier
Architect: Niall McLaughlin Architects
Deal Pier is a bare bones structure. It could be compared to the skeleton of a beached whale or the ribcage of a ship. We discussed the ideal setting for a cup of tea, or supper at the end of the pier. Most of us would prefer to sit on an empty deck on a windless balmy afternoon and enjoy the panorama of the sky, sea and light. We decided that the café should preserve this quality.
